Project Deliverance©: Don't be fooled

Dear Peoples,

Through the years I have done many different sports. Football, Cycling, and Backpacking are the sports I love most. However, with my busy life it is hard to continue to do those sports. This forced me to learn how to workout on my own. I ran and did calisthenics most of the time. However, I would find that I lost motivation to continue to work out.

I first tried working out with friends but that didn't work because two people can loose interest is easy as one. Eventually I found a group of people that wished to better themselves through rigorous training. This group is named Project Deliverance©.

For those unaware of the new fitness craze that companies like Gym Jones© and P90X© have started. The theory behind Gym Jones© and P90X© is that rigorous circuit training will create an unparalleled fitness level. This theory is correct. Through dedicated circuit training you can gain a phenomenal fitness level in any discipline.

The next question your undoubtedly have is "why is there a problem?"

I do not have a problem with Gym Jones© or P90X©. They are both respectable companies that treat their trainees well. However, there is a very obvious problem with Project Deliverance©.

In the early days of Project Deliverance© the leader of PD©, who will remain nameless, treated everyone like a friend and claimed that the members of Project Deliverance© were a gang of sorts that would be taken care of by PD© and were encouraged by PD©'s Leader to create Project Deliverance© franchises around the country.

Many of us were fooled and PD© Missou and PD© STLCOP/SLU were created. PD© Missou became rather successful and had 4 or 5 regular members. None of which payed to the Central PD© Location but where nevertheless a part of PD©. PD© STLCOP/SLU was an idea that I and another PD© member planned to implement. PD© STLCOP/SLU never took off. No meetings were ever scheduled.

The next important happening in the world of PD© was the Airsoft Incedent. This incident was what finally brought the internal turmoil that PD© was inflamed with.

During the Midterms of Fall 2009 a now former member of PD© posted this picture



Several hours after this picture was posted on Facebook a central member of PD© said something to the effect of "Why are you guys still playing in your backyard, your never going to get girls this way, grow up" I removed some of the more vulgur obsenities. A epic shit storm then started. The leader of PD© then agreed with the first post under the picture and spoke against one of his own dedicated athletes. After a day there were more that 30 posts. I personally recieved calls and text messages from both parties as well as many facebook messages. All of this was happening at the same time as Midterms in most colleges. Most PD© members are college students.

After the dust settled around the situation 3 members of PD© were banned from the organization. I did my best to stay out of it but I sided with the victims and told the leader of PD© that he was wrong and that it was wrong to harrass his members.

The leader of PD© took me off of his site and I had began to stop hanging around with members of PD©. I hung out with the people that had been booted.

I am angered by the injustice of the whole thing becouse the members that had been booted did nothing wrong and were very supportive of PD©. I posted the below video






The leader of PD© found this video and immediatly started picking on the booted members, especially the former member who posted the picture.

The leader of PD© and some of his favorite members came into the former members place of work and threatend police intervention, lawsuit, and physically violence.

The Leader and several members of PD© are now banned from a food joint near the PD© gym.

Since this event I advised the booted members to refuse contact with the leader of PD© or any other PD© members.

I do recognize that the above video doesn't respect the copyright of PD©. All of the pictures were taken from Google Picture Search and were meant to be cursory images of the workouts that PD© does.

As you can see. I now respect the copyright of PD© and any other offiliates.

I do not and I will not retract my statement. Project Deliverance© is a harmful organization that misleads athletes inorder to take their hard earned cash. Throughout the duration of my time at PD©, paying members were forced to buy Concert Tickets, T-Shirts, and generally waste their time and money on an organization that does not respect them.

The training the PD© offers is good. However the leader and upper members of Project Deliverance© do not care about lower members. I would suggest that if you use PD© you do so with caution. I would suggest that you do not get socially involved with them and disapear as soon as your workout is over. PD© is not your friend. They do not care about you. They never will

DevilDriver at Pops

Dear Peoples,

On Wednesday August 26, 2007 I embarked on a journey to see some kick ass bands. This journey was straight into what most people would say is a "bad neighborhood" or "the wrong side of the tracks". Hell if we cared. I was with the Director of Hard Rock at KSLU and we were going to interview Dez Fafara, the lead singer of DevilDriver. We drove up to Pops and were met by DevilDriver's tour director. He lead us into the band's bus. The bus was like a sleeper car on a train that could drive on the highway. At the end of the bunks there was a lounge and we did the interview there.

I don't want to put the interview into this post yet becouse I don't have the recording and I don't want to misquote Dez. When the recording is put online I will post a link to it. The first thing you should know about Dez is that he's an awesome guy. It's unusual that a lead singer of such a large band would let in some college kids to interview him but he had no problem with it. One thing I can safely say is that his favorite color is purple. After that epic 20 minutes of interviewing we waited around for the concert. This was the lineup for the concert

Soul Decenders
Site Street Team | Store | Myspace | YouTube
Dirtfedd
Myspace | Facebook | Twitter | iTunes | YouTube
My Children My Bride
Wikipedia | MySpace | iTunes | YouTube
DevilDriver
Site | Wikipedia | MySpace | Facebook | YouTube

This is one of the best concerts I've been to at Pop's. Soul Decenders was a great Thrash Metal band. They are right out of High School and they sound great. I would keep an eye on these guys. They're going to get big. Next was Dirtfedd, an industrial metal, keyboard driven band. They're lyrical content is very war based and is definatly a "Fight the Power" band. After that was My Children My Bride. They are a great Christan Metalcore Band. After that was of course DevilDriver. Dez and DevilDriver put on a great show. They have a great stage presence and a huge following. Although this following was not fully represented at Pops it was still a great show.

Best,

Drag Race at Gatway International Speedway


Dear Peoples,

On the 7th of August, 4 of my friends and I attended the Hardee's Gateway Drags II at Gateway International Raceway. The engines were loud, the tires were hot, and the cars hella fast.

Unfortunately, the Results of the race are not yet in so I can't post them.

However, I can tell you that world records were broken. I believe that one car made the quarter mile in 3.42 seconds (correct me if I'm wrong).

I also made a really cool video. Enjoy


If this video doesn't work try below

Drag Race at Gateway - The Underground City

Unfortunately we left before the rocket car took it's run. My 4 buddies and others who want to see what a rocket car run looks like. Here's the video taken from the videos of FlyByUNMy50Stang on YouTube





Well, that's how we roll at the races. In rocket cars.

Best,

The Renegade Rabbit

Rock the River

Dear Peoples,

On August 2nd, 2009 a free Christian Music Concert opened under the St. Louis Arch. This concert was put on by the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association. According to Wikipedia, Evangelism is the practice of converting people to different religions. This is mostly reserved for Christan and Islamic Religions because they have put forth the most effort to gather followers.

The purpose of this concert was two fold. To tell people the good news about Christianity and to have fun. For those who were already avid Christians it was a great concert. The right messages were put forth, the right bands sang there songs, and the atmosphere was lots of fun.

However, I am not part of the usual Christan Rock Concert crowd. Most of the concerts that I attend are more........Metalish. If that makes any sense. The bands are scary and demonic. The kids are screaming and moshing and the message is mostly about freedom and teen angst.

The Rock the River tour was much different. First of all it was free. So the concert tickets were non-existent. The biggest issue was parking. Luckily, my group found parking pretty easily by the river. Next was the walk to the stage. First we had to walk from the rivers edge to the Arch Grounds. In the Arch grounds there were tents like you'd see at a regular Concert. It had a bit of a fair vibe. There were corn dog venders and t-shirt venders right next to each other. After we waded through the Fair ground we got to the fences that blocked off the grounds. We waited till 2 when the gates opened. Security at this event was non-existant. I know for a fact that I could have carried any number of weapons, knives, or guns into the premisis. I carried my wallet chain in. Most of the concerts I go into require me to remove it and leave it into the car. I wasn't frisked at all and most of the people at the concert wern't frisked. Only bags were checked. When we got into the concert lawn chairs and blankets were rampant. Many of them were boardering the pit. This was clearly a bad idea. Partioning the areas would have been an excellent idea. That way those who want to be in the croud can be in the croud and those who want to watch from blankets and lawnchairs can.

This was who was on the bill at the concert.
